(Hermes watch)

The watch arrived safely yesterday and I was bowled over by its condition and presentation. It has been running since yesterday morning and keeping pace. The case and dial I think are exceptional and the brightness of the blued steel hands remarkable in piece which is 95 years old.

Many thanks for the watch and for all your help.

(Rolex watch, USA)

The watch and paperwork arrived with today's post.

I'm quite chuffed with the watch. It looks so fresh for a 1920s watch.

I've been wearing the watch more or less non stop since last Wednesday...

Thanks again.

(Asprey watch, France)

The item from you arrived today to me.Thank you for a wonderful watch.I am very satisfied.Let's meet again next time.

(Rolex watch, Japan)

The watch has arrived safely, thank you. It is better than I expected, a beautiful item. It appears to be rather small compared to the contemporary mens watches but this makes it even more extraordinary.

Thank you also for the separate information letter that you have sent. I am very happy that I have come to the best place possible to buy a piece of watch-making history.

(Longines watch, Switzerland)

Thank you so much for letting us visit today. It has been so lovely and interesting to meet both of you.
My husband is thrilled by his Oyster and is absolutely happy with it. It is such a beautiful timepiece.

Thank you also for having sent the 'receipt'.

We will certainly look at your website from time to time or be in touch one way or the other. Please let us know if you have
anything that might be of interest to my husband (or myself ;-).

All best to you both and thanks again for the meeting.

(Rolex Oyster watch, Switzerland)

Olde Timers Watches is the only watch shop you should consider in buying a vintage wristwatch. This watch is my third.

Firstly, warm kudos must go out to Owner Crispin and his Partner/Associate Sam. I recommend you give them a ring. Crispin’s and Sam’s warm and welcoming manner will, without a doubt, lure you to buy their magnificent watches.

Second, Crispin’s excellently written short histories of some of the watch brands he sells, namely the introduction of the Rolex Oyster in 1926.

Third – last but not least – is the extreme care that is shown in his and/or Sam’s packing his watches for shipment.

I thank you both.

(IWC watch)

As discussed earlier today, the watch arrived this morning.
When something like this arrives and then you open it up, you can always tell from your own reaction as to whether or not it really 'hits the spot'. This did!
I would like to thank you for a very thoughtful and professional service. I immediately warmed to the friendly service on the day that I called you on the telephone.
The watch is really attractive with a most wonderful guilloche face and in superb condition.
I hope to repeat the experience in the future. For now, many thanks to you both for such a good experience.

How would I describe your timepiece?Most elegant, an "eye catcher, " most handsome, and pristine would most accurately describe it. I am so ecstatic! I put on your watch as quickly as I could.You packed the watch tightly and securely.What more can I ask?In the future, I have made up my mind and will only buy watches from you.You are a real professional, most timely, most accommodating, and honest, and a delight to transact business with.I've already recommended you to two professionals here in the U.S. and will continue to do so, as people WILL ask me who and where I purchased the watch from. Forget about the thirty-one vintage watches that I once owned. This timepiece will continue to draw much attention.Thank you for making my buying experience a smooth and pleasurable one.(Asprey watch, USA)

Perhaps, when I am in England during the summer, I might try and come down to your showroom to see your stock. Meanwhile, I better start saving!
